Wedding hog roast in Shooter's Hill
Wedding hog roast near Shooter's Hill
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving crackling, carved roast pork and salads.
In Shooter's Hill, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will agree the details with them. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Sides to make it a full meal
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Shooter's Hill
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Shooter's Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Eaglesfield Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

The process

Evening food at a Shooter's Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
As a London location, Shooter's Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
